Here lately, my inbox has been inundated with emails referencing wanting to send me, rather my company, business if I would click a link and join Alignable.com.

As I would soon learn, Alignable.com is a small business networking website providing a path to customer referrals, recommendations, and local business insights.

I ignored the first couple of emails until I began receiving the same emails from well-known domainers.

One year out, and another year in! And with a new year, brings a slew of new domain investing opportunities and perspectives to explore.

Over the last 6 months or so, I’ve shared a number of domain interviews from technologists to designers to entrepreneurs to investors to marketplaces and more…

Picking up from where we left off last, one of the latest opportunities to take hold in the domain industry are emoji domains.

Until now, most interviews I’ve covered have highlighted independent investors or traders investing in emoji domains.

It’s the close of yet another productive domain investing week for me (likely you too!), and time to prep for another.

It wasn’t long ago that I reported GoDaddy hosting expiring emoji domain auction lots of nearly 1,200, 650, and 200 in quantity.

Today while reviewing GoDaddy’s emoji domain auctions to expire over the next 7 days, I discovered another tide of emoji domain auctions soon to expire.

From week to week, I receive various wide-ranging questions and inquiries pertaining to WordPress websites.

I recently received an inquiry in regards to how easy or difficult it is to password-protect an entire WordPress website from the general public.

Of course, there are a number of ways to achieve a fully protected and private WordPress website.

🔥Hot off the press and into my inbox about 30 minutes ago, I received an email from GoDaddy entitled: .Net Price Increase.

To kick off the year, NameJet launched another 80+ emoji domain auctions in its Premium .WS Emoji Domain auction, which debuted December 2017.

PreRelease bids were made and ended a few days ago for 9 single .WS emoji domains.

The same emoji domains are now in Public Auction with hours remaining until auctions end.

Today’s NameJet emoji domain auction results give the appearance that interest is waning for emoji domains.

Of course, this loosely held opinion is based on NameJet finishing last year quite strong with a number of .WS emoji domain auctions closing with 4-figure amounts.

So, how in the world do NameJet emoji domain auctions go from 4-figure amounts to barely meeting or not meeting 3-figure reserves? 🤔
